With the week winding down, it’s time to check out the fresh batch of games hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. Among the most exciting releases is the Suikoden I&II Remaster, and let’s not forget, it’s MAR10 week too, which means loads of Mario-themed fun. So, let’s dive right into this week’s offerings.
Top of the list is the beloved classic RPG, Suikoden I&II, making its much-anticipated debut on the Nintendo Switch. Originally released by Konami back in 1995, this gem was absent from Nintendo consoles—until now. Both the original Suikoden and its 1998 sequel are remastered, now boasting HD graphics and user-friendly features. It’s a fantastic opportunity for newcomers to experience these legendary games anew.
Of course, no discussion this week would be complete without mentioning Mario Day. Mark your calendars for March 10 (MAR10, see what they did there?), when Nintendo rolls out great discounts on Mario titles like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. These classics and more are available with up to 30% off, which is as good as it gets for Nintendo’s first-party games. Plus, you’ll rack up My Nintendo Points throughout March, so it’s a win-win.
Music lovers, rejoice! The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack is now streaming on Nintendo’s music app. This treasure trove of SNES nostalgia is not to be missed, and we’ll sprinkle in more details during our next Pure Nintendo Podcast.
